Anyone have one? If so your thoughts. Thinking about picking one up if I can ever get a PTA appointment.   

I've got a G26 gen 4 that I can shoot nearly as well as my G17.  At the time it was that or a G43 and I went with the 26 for mag compatibility.  It fits just fine in a front pocket unless you're one of those guys who wears booty shorts.

I got a gen 4 g26. I like it.

Some people dont like the dangling pinky. Easily remedied with a pinky extension. With certain extensions itll still be shorter than a g19 grip, length wise. The bonus is that you can use g19, g17 mags. Even though its all 10 rd mags, still got the benefit. And if you go mainland you can use 17 rd mags if you to 2a friendly states.

I can hit the rooster maybe 4 times out of 5 on the silhouette side , if its still there. Got trijicon hds.

Looking at getting the Gen 5…..

Rooster still there at 100m
That's hard to hit with a handgun
You're a good shooter if you can hit that 🤙

I'm probably going to regret admitting this, but I've found it's a lot easier to hit that rooster (at least on consistent basis) with my Ruger Redhawk .44 Mag 7.5" barrel and S&W 686+ 6" barrel.   

 

My friend got his 27 a while ago...before the 43, 43x or 48 were available.

Felt being able to shoot 40 was important in case 9 wasn’t available.  He has a lot of 9 ammo but still likes the idea of being able to shoot 2 calibers.

He shoots the 27 well without the pinky extensions.  He is a LIFE instructor. 

He thinks most people would like the 48 compared to the subcompact 26.  Thinks they are more comfortable and easier to shoot well with the slightly longer sight radius.

Probably best if you can try a 26 to see how you like it.

I’m biased towards the 23 myself.  I had a 48....only have the frame now....sold the rest....but I felt the 23 filled/fit my hand better and I could shoot it better.  Also, I could still shoot 40 if 9 got scarce.  Also, I’m looking to move to a free state so taking hi cap mags is another pro.

I don’t plan to conceal carry but if I did I wouldn’t use a glock.  I’d probably get a slim da/sa hammer pistol.  Nothing against glocks, I’m just paranoid about an AD since I would probably conceal carry in the front.

Did ya end up getting one?

I personally don’t care for subcompact handguns, but I’m actually (at least somewhat) ok without the pinky on the grip. I’ve shot buddies’ subcompacts with the pinky extension and that’s recipe for pinching my firing hand on reloads. Maybe fat hands, but eff me that sucks. Haha.

The only subcompact I enjoyed shooting was the Shield. In both 9 and 40. And I hate most compact 40 handguns. That’s coming from someone whose first handgun was a compact fotay. Personal preference. I long wanted a full size .40 S&W though.
